What's your favourite line in the movie?


Obviously this movie is packed full of amazing dialogue, but for some reason my favourite line is....

Withnail - "Good. I'm glad you're the proprietor."

For some reason that line just kills me. With that look on his face.

As a youth, I used to weep in butcher's shops.

Warm up? We may as well sit round this cigarette. This is ridiculous. We'll be found dead in here next spring.

Right, you *beep* I'm going to do the washing up!

Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? How dare you? *beep* you!

Eat it? The *beep* alive

In his search for alcohol, Withnail drinks lighter fuel (I think) and then asks Marwood where he keeps the anti-freeze, to which Marwood replies with:

"You bloody fool, you should never mix your drinks!".

That cracked me up, big time.

All right, this is the plan. We get in there and get wrecked, then we eat a pork pie, then we drop a couple of Surmontil-50s each. That means we'll miss out on Monday but come up smiling Tuesday morning.

Throw yourself into the road, darling! You haven't got a chance!

Withnail, when Marwood asks him why he wants to get hold of a child:
"To tutor it in the ways of righteousness and procure some uncontaminated urine."

"Chicken soup - with a *beep* straw."
